Stock is a numbers game. Try adding a couple 00s to that 14 items, 1,400 items. 1,700 items was the breakthrough for me, the number of items that began producing consistent daily sales
If 3D video graphics take too long to create that volume of items, try submitting still images and vectors, items that are quicker and easier to produce.
I don't know if Breaking News logos are going to sell. News networks already have their own custom logos.

Thanks Laurin. I'm at my boring second job and needed something to pass the time! That SNL skit is hilarious!
Bankrupt or not, Kodak IS still selling motion picture film, 35mm, 16mm and Super 8, albeit it is a niche market. In the 35mm game, some movie directors still prefer the look of film. Christopher Nolan even shoots 65mm IMAX and Quentin Tarantino tried his hand at Super Panavision 70 for Hateful Eight, although that project, with its largely claustrophobic log cabin interior, was the wrong story for that super-wide format IMO. It needed some wide exterior vistas, maybe a horse chase!
If Kodak would release a below-$1,000 scanner that could transfer Super 8mm, in better quality than the Reflecta and Wolverine, sprocketless, to go over frames with splices and torn sprocket holes while maintaining perfect frame alignment, I for one would buy it. I've got reels and reels of precious memories on Super 8 movie film I'd like to transfer to digital. I realize such a product is yet another niche market.
Right now, it looks like the only serious contender with those features is the $6,000 Retro 8.

That's cool, Jim. Except for cycling, I'm not into extreme sports either. I'm mainly planning to use the Hero 6 to get smooth, elegant dolly, arc and crane shots at weddings. Occasionally I'll use the Hero 6 to chase my sister's kids around and jump in the pool with them, underwater and with the water lapping the lens. I got an underwater housing for it for extra dryness insurance.
Yeah, the Hero 7 has even smoother image stabilization, but I've read it gets very hot and oohh--does it drain its battery fast!

Yeah, AS seems to have a totally different set of acceptance criteria than here, which is cool, because, while they rejected some images that were accepted here, they accepted a whole bunch of others that were rejected here, like a whole series of bike light against traffic images at night I'm particularly fond of lol.
Contributing to multiple sites is like multiple the bang for the buck, getting several differing portfolios out of the same shoots, not to mention multiplying our chances for sales success!

Shutterstock and their customers like images sharp. Use a high enough ISO, with an "acceptable" amount of noise (my Canon 5D Mark III has NR, which allows an ISO of 1000 with almost no noise), to use a small aperture, of at least f/11 if not f/16, and a shutter speed of at least 1/250th of a second if not higher. If the light is too dim to allow for these settings, don't shoot, wait until the light is brighter.
